tee and Outline Policies

Captain John F. Lucey, temporary
chairman of tbe Hoover National Re?
publican Club, yesterday announced
that a national conference of Hoover
supporters will take place in Chicago
within the next ten days. The confer
. once, called at the instance of local
Hoover clubs wishing to coordinate
i their activities for Herbert Hoover as
j the Republican Presidential nominee,
j will be asked to ?ame a permanent na
! tional committee, a permanent chair?
man, and to outline policies and future
! work for a Republican Hoover cam
| paign if the conference decides such
action is desirable.
"Such a conference will be the natu?
ral outgrowth of all of the Hoover i
movements," said Captain Lucey.
Mrs. Oscar S. Straus will preside at j
. meeting of Republicans at the Hotel '
lajestic to-night to discuss the can
ass being made in the 17th Congres
ional District to elect delegates ?
lodged to the support of Hoover. Dr. j
Catharine B. Davis anci. Walter S. !
iaight will speak.
Publication of an attack on the j
Hoover boom by the Wood campaign I
committee brought the following state
ment from Watson Washburn, chair?
man of the 17th District committee:
"Campaign managers for General
Wood offer curiously inconsistent com?
ment on the Hoover boom when they
say that General Wood is the Republi?
can 'party's one certainty of success.' i
Voters have been told repeatedly that
; any Republican can win this year. Ap
; parently the supporters of General
Wood share the opinion of Mr. Hoover's
! friends, that a Republican of mediocre
ability may be beaten. To prevent that
possibility we are working for Mr.
Hoover because we believe he is the
man best fitted for the place. The gen?
eral's boomers seem to have a different
I view, but we are not trying to read
? them out of the party because they
! happen to favor a candidate other than
ours. It is hard to see how they can
| claim for General Wood any monopoly
; of Republican sentiment, when so many
: other candidates are being considered.
I Their position comes dangerously close
j to an attempt to make one candidate
! of more importance than all the rest
I of the party."

government only to promote the de?
velopment of these relations, the sup?
pression of domination by any one

which democracy must progress.

it by transferring to governmental j

do believe that we can attain it by sys- i

of individual effort in the whole man.
"I am sure you would view the entry
of the government on a nation-wide
scale into the determination of fair i
wage and fair profit in industry, even
if it could be accomplished without
force, with great apprehension. There
are some things wotrse in the develop?
ment of democracy ' than strikes and I
lockouts, and whether by legislative re-j
pression we do not set up economic and i
social repercussions-of worse character!
is by no means determined. Courts and
litigation are necessary to the preser- ;
vation of life and property, but they i
are less stimulus to improved relations
among men than are discussion and dis?
posal of their own differences."

Woman Suffrage Gets the

- ,
Special Dispatch to Tho Tribune
NEW HAVEN, .Conn., March 24 ?
John T. K^ng, retiring national commit
teeman from Connecticut Ana until re
I cently manager of the Leonard Wood
1 campaign in this state, has now
: switched his loyalty and will probably
| come out for Hiram Johnson.
This report and the fact that the Re?
publicans to-day indorsed woman suf
I frage are the chief topics of conversa- j
tion in state politics at present.
While Mr. Kins made- no definite j
statement as to the transfer of his i
allegiance, party members who talked
with him at the Republican State Con?
vention to-day, were certain that he
was planning to start work at once
for California's candidate not only in
Connecticut but throughout New Eng?
land.
Following the adoption of the reso?
lution approving suffrage to-day, Gov- j
ernor Holcomb was asked by the con?
vention to call a special session of the j
Legislature to ratify the national suf- !
frage amendment.
"Any other action would be sui- '
cidal," said Colonel Isaac M. Ullman,,
New Haven County leader, who pre- j
sented the resolution. Decision to ask i
the convention to pass it was reached !
this morning by a vote of 25 to 8 mem- ;
bers of the state central committee.
Mr. King was defeated when his aid,
Lieutenant Governor Clifford Wilson,
moved that a committee of five from;
each county be named by the chair?
man, United States Senator Frank B. j
Brandegee, to present delegates-at- '
large for the national convention. This?
motion would have upset the organiza
tion plan for the appointment of the '??
delegates, and Colonel Ullman, leadinsr'
the state organization, mustered' 307
I votes to 211 for the Kin;r-Wilson par
; tisans.
Wilson bitterly attacked J. Henry
i Roraback, chairman of the State Cen
| tral Committee, charging him with be
; ing a lobbyist and with causing the
split in party ranks which resulted in
the election of Judge Simeon Baldwin,
Democrat, eight years ago.
The full organization slate for the ;
national convention was elected, headed
by Charles F. Brooker, of Ansonia,
i formerly National Committeeman;
j Charles Hopkins Clark, of Hartford,
editor of "The Courant"; James J.
I Walsh, of Greenwich, Speaker of the
? House of Representatives, and Mr.
? Roraback as deleg.ites-at-large.
Only one ticket of delegates at large
| and district delegates was placed in
i the field. Mr. King, who had been a
candidate for delegate at large, ac?
cepted election as a member of the
Fairfield County delegation, although
; not at its head.
King also was re?lected a member
of the state central committee on its
, reorganization for the coming cam
I paign, and his friends announce that
; they expect to be able to block the
? plan to elect Mr. Roraback National
! Committeeman from Conecticut by
i forcing the election of Mr. Brooker,
j who was formerly committeeman. King
| also will trp to force the nomination
j of Mr. Wilson for Governor at the
j state campaign this fall.

Four delegates at large and eight i

a canvass of the candidates for places
on the delegation indicated that they
favored Wood.
Railway Valuation Hearing
Concluded at Washington
WASHINGTON, March 24.- Hearings
before the Interstate Commerce' Com?
mission to determine methods of rail- ,
way valuation prior to adjusting rates j
to give the standard return under the
transportation act were concluded to- ?
day, with the representatives 'of the
carriers, security holders and the ma?
jority of the shippers favoring the in- '??
vestment accounts of the. roads as a ;
"minimum basis? of value, against de?
termined opposition by the state rail?
road commissioners.
Final arguments- of the three-day
session were made b;r S. T. Bledsoe, of
Chlcngo, and F. H. Wood, of New York,
for the Association of Railway Execu- j
tives.
The railroads, for the purpose of !
valuation and rate fixing, played a
minor part in the hearings. Carriers
and shippers generally agreed that the
matter was a auestion of the con
venience of the committee.

be a great tuberculosis sanitarium".

Dr. Caines was a major in the medical
